Dark Chocolate Orange Quinoa Muffins

We don’t eat a lot of dessert in our family other than fruit. Every once in a while, I like to have a sweet treat with my tea or coffee and this usually hits the spot. Who doesn’t love chocolate and orange together? This combination of flavours is just meant to be!

With this recipe, I attempt to add some healthy tweaks to a family favourite starting with the replacement of whole wheat flour instead of white flour. I also add quinoa which is so good for you. I changed the recipe from regular chocolate to dark chocolate and from vegetable oil to coconut oil. Another change is using honey to replace straight white sugar. All these changes make for a much healthier version.

If you are starting to eat REAL FOOD start by making some of these substitutions. Your transition to healthy eating can be really simple if you make these adjustments to your already well-loved recipes.
